Inspirations: Local Artists

This weekend I went to the Salt City Urban Art & Craft Market. It was a great show with a lot of inspiring work being sold by area artists. I was practically drooling over all of the gorgeous letterpress work. I had some birthday money in my pocket, so I was able to take a few cool things home with me to continue the inspiration.

This felted owl is just too adorable! The artist has more work on Etsy at Peaches Products.

I'm planning on framing this notecard by Ink and Wit. There was a gorgeous calendar that the artist had put together that I really wanted to bring home, but it was a little out of my budget range.

I was determined to bring a piece of letterpress artwork home with me and wound up settling on this sweet little 10" x 8" winter themed print by Pistachio Press. They also had some gorgeous stationery. Their work is also available through their Etsy shop.

About Me

Welcome to my sketch blog! Here you can find sketches, paintings, various artistic output, and things I find inspiring. I'm a full-time high school art teacher as well as a freelance artist. I don't have a set posting schedule - posting tends to be more sporadic when school is in session, more frequent when it's not.

There's a pretty good mix of things posted here, from my own personal art, projects for my students, random DIY crafts, and more, so enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!
